BOTTLE ATTACHMENT.

Specification of Letters Patent.

Patented Feb. 26, 1907.

Application filed-November 15, 1906. Serial No. 343,594.

To ztZZ whom, it may concern.-

Be it known that I, WILLIAM J. GEsELL, a citizen of the United States, residing at VVeehawken, in the county of Hudson and State of New Jersey, have invented a new and useful Bottle Attachment, of which the follow ing is a specification.

This invention relates to bottles, jars, and similar containing vessels, and more particularly to means for discharging the contents of the vessel in predetermined quantities.

The object of the invention is to provide a discharge-tube one end of which is positioned at the mouth of the vessel while the opposite end thereof is flared laterally and spaced from the bottom of said vessel, whereby when the latter is inverted a relatively small proportion of the contents of the vessel will be discharged at the mouth of the tube.

A still further object of the invention is to generally improve this class of devices so as to increase their utility, durability, and efliciency, as well as to reduce the cost of manufacture.

With these and other objects in view the invention consists in the construction and novel combination and arrangement of parts hereinafter fully described, and illustrated in the accompanying drawings, it being understood that various changes in form, proportions, and minor details of construction may be resorted to within the scope of the appended claims.

In the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, Figure 1 is a longitudinal sectional view of a bottle constructed in accordance with my invention. Fig. 2 is a similar view showing the cap removed and the bottle in inverted position to permit the discharge of the contents thereof.

Similar numerals of reference indicate corresponding parts in all of the figures of the drawings.

The improved device is principally designed for attachment to bottles or similar vessels containing powdered or liquid dentifrice and by way of illustration is shown in position on a bottle of the ordinary construction, in which 5 designates the body portion and 6 the neck, the exterior walls of which are threaded for engagement with the corresponding threads on a cap 7.

The side walls of the cap 7 converge in a direction away from the mouth of the bottle, as indicated at 8, and soldered or otherwise rigidly secured to the cap at the reduced end thereof is a discharge-tube 9, the lower end of which is flared laterally, as indicated at 10, and spaced from the bottom of the bottle, thereby to permit a relatively small proportion of the contents of the bottle to be discharged at the mouth of the tube when the bottle is inverted.

The tube- 9, which may be formed of glass, metal, or other suitable material, is extended beyond the free end of the cap 7 and is provided with exterior threads 11 for engagement with the correspondingly threaded walls of a cap or closure 12.

In using the device the closure 12 is removed and the bottle inverted, thus permitting that portion of the liquid, powder, and other contents of the bottle between the flanged end of the tube and the bottom of the vessel to be discharged through the tube, as illustrated in Fig. 2 of the drawing.

The quantity of material discharged through the tube 9 may be regulated by varying the width of the tube and the distance between the flanged end thereof and the bottom of the vessel.

While the attachment is principally designed for use in connection with the bottles containing dentifrice, it is obvious that the same may be used with equally good results for dispensing other materials.

Having thus described the invention, what is claimed is 1. A containing vessel having a continuous open-ended discharge-tube of uniform cross-sectional diameter disposed within the same and having its lower end flared laterally and spaced from the bottom of the vessel, and a removable closure for the upper end of said tube.

2. .A containing vessel having a dischargetube disposed within the same, one end of which is threaded and the other end spaced from the bottom of the vessel, and a closure engaging the threaded end of the tube.

3. A containing vessel provided with a cap, a discharge-tube secured to the wall of the cap and having one end thereof extended beyond the cap and its opposite end spaced from the bottom of the vessel, and a closure engaging the extended end of the dischargetu e.

4. A containing vessel provided with a cap, a discharge-tube carried by the cap and having one end thereof extended beyond the cap and provided with exterior threads and its opposite end flared laterally and spaced a tube secured to the interior Wall of the cap from the bottom of the vessel, and a closure at the reduced end thereof and havin one engaging the threads on the tube. end extended beyond the free end of th e cap 5. A containing vessel provided with a and threaded and its opposite end extending cap whlch converges away from one end of i longitudinally of the vessel and spaced from the vessel, a tube secured to the interior wall the bottom of the latter, and a closure having 0 the cap at the reduced end thereof and an opening formed therein the walls of Which haging one end extended beyond the cap are threaded for engagement withthe threads an its 0 osite end flared laterallv and on the end ofthe dischar etube. spaced froiii the bottom of the vesselIand a In testimony that I cla im the foregoing as closure engaging the extended end of the dismy own I have hereto aflixed my signature char e-tube. in the presence of two witnesses.

6. A containing vessel provided with a WILLIAM J. GESELL. neck the exterior wall of which is threaded, 1 Witnesses: a cap engaging the threads on the neck and MAX KADE, converging away from one end of the vessel, F. EHRMANN.
